The individual elements of this wood casing transform into the Schallmauer, a compositional musical instrument that opens a window to the resonance of the city. Through tactile exploration in a dialogue with the wall, hidden soundscapes are revealed that can only be experienced in direct contact with the solid medium. An infrasonic interactive narrative spatially distributes the landmarks of the city and their acoustic cultures throughout the wall and beyond. The Schallmauer therefore expands the predominant auditory and visual impressions of an opera house by directing the focus to the listening through the body.</p> <p>The sound installation “Schallmauer” invisibly integrates into the architecture of the new opera house in Linz. Behind each panel of a 25m long wooden wall a total of 56 contact speakers have been mounted, transmitting the sound directly through the solid medium, which therefore can primarily perceived in bodily contact with wall. Especially the low frequencies under 50Hz transform the wood into a both tactile and visually perceivable resonant state. Each of the 28 interactive wooden panel is equipped with six capacitive contact sensors, which allows to control the sound in a total of 168 segments through the touch of hands and body. 14 motion sensors that are distributed throughout the length of the corridor allow to detect the presence and motion of the visitors, in order to unconsciously guide them into a dialogue with this interactive musical instrument.</p> <p>The installation has been implemented with a distributed Debian Linux system running on 14 Raspberry Pi computers, which are providing 28 independent audio channels controlled by one additional Raspberry Pi. The entire composition has been programmed in Pure Data and additional custom software for the interactive hardware interfaces.</p></p><p><strong>Cast:</strong> <a href="https://vimeo.com/mkalten">Martin Kaltenbrunner</a> and <a href="https://vimeo.com/user1717626">enrique tomas</a></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Sound+Installation">Sound Installation</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Musical+Instrument">Musical Instrument</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Tactile+Sound">Tactile Sound</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Musiktheater+Linz">Musiktheater Linz</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Kunstunversit%26auml%3Bt+Linz">Kunstunversität Linz</a> and <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Interface+Cultures">Interface Cultures</a></p>tag:vimeo,2014-05-23:clip96206403Schallmauer – Composing Tactile Sound for the Solid MediumORF Newton - Kinect abseits der Xbox - 3.11.2012Tue, 20 Nov 2012 05:35:55 -0500https://vimeo.com/53928596<p><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/53928596" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" title="ORF Newton - Kinect abseits der Xbox - 3.11.2012" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></p><p><p class="first">Interessante Innovationen gibt es bei der Bewegungssteuerung Kinect. Sie war ursprünglich nur für die Microsoft-Spielkonsole Xbox 360 entwickelt worden. Doch findige Hacker - darunter auch der Linzer Universitätsprofessor Martin Kaltenbrunner - sind recht schnell dahinter gekommen, dass das Potenzial der Technologie weitaus größer ist. Newton hat sich die kreativsten Ideen im Microsoft Headquarter im Bundesstaat Washington vorführen lassen.</p> <p>Eine Sendung von Robert Glashüttner und Nadine Maehs.</p> <p><a href="http://tv.ORF.at/newton" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">tv.ORF.at/newton</a></p></p><p><strong>Cast:</strong> <a href="https://vimeo.com/mkalten">Martin Kaltenbrunner</a></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Kinect">Kinect</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:HCI">HCI</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Interface">Interface</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Kunstuniversit%26auml%3Bt">Kunstuniversität</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:Linz">Linz</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:ORF">ORF</a> and <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:TV">TV</a></p>tag:vimeo,2012-11-20:clip53928596ORF Newton - Kinect abseits der Xbox - 3.11.2012Tworse Key - Twitter TelegraphSat, 28 Jan 2012 05:07:51 -0500https://vimeo.com/35791602<p><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/35791602" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" title="Tworse Key - Twitter Telegraph" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></p><p><p class="first">An open design exercise in interface archaeology, that decodes the input from a classic Morse key to send twitter messages.

This application is available free of charge on the App Store and can be used in conjunction with any TUIO enabled client application. Its source code is also available under the terms of the GPL and therefore can be freely used for the creation of open source TUIO enabled mobile applications. Apart from that the TuioPad is also a useful tool for the development and testing of TUIO 1.1 client implementations.</p> <p>iTunes App Store: http://bit.ly/dLQeL8<br> Source Code: <a href="https://code.google.com/p/tuiopad/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">code.google.com/p/tuiopad/</a></p></p><p><strong>Cast:</strong> <a href="https://vimeo.com/mkalten">Martin Kaltenbrunner</a></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:TUIO">TUIO</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:iOS">iOS</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:iPhone">iPhone</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:iPad">iPad</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:iPod">iPod</a>, <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:multitouch">multitouch</a> and <a href="https://vimeo.com/tag:multi-touch">multi-touch</a></p>tag:vimeo,2011-02-17:clip20059791TuioPadTherenect - Kinect Theremin - 2nd DemoSun, 05 Dec 2010 12:42:03 -0500https://vimeo.com/17494162<p><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/17494162" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" title="Therenect - Kinect Theremin - 2nd Demo" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></p><p><p class="first">The Therenect is a virtual Theremin for the Kinect controller. It defines two virtual antenna points, which allow controlling the pitch and volume of a simple oscillator. The distance to these points can be controlled by freely moving the hand in three dimensions or by reshaping the hand, which allows gestures that should be quite similar to playing an actual Theremin.</p> <p>In this new demo we demonstrate the improved handling of the Therenect, getting closer to a common Theremin playing style. This updated version also synthesizes the original Theremin waveform as well as alternative sine, saw and square waves. In addition to an improved pitch scaling this version introduces discrete musical scales such as the chromatic, major and pentatonic scale, which automatically tune the instrument.</p> <p>Update: The Therenect is now available and provides many improved features. The source code and a Mac OS binary has been released on Google code: <a href="https://code.google.com/p/therenect/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">code.google.com/p/therenect/</a></p> <p>This musical instrument has been developed by Martin Kaltenbrunner at the Interface Culture Lab at the University of Art and Industrial Design in Linz, Austria.
